Abstrakt: The spatial mismatch hypothesis is representative research concerning the intrametropolitan spatial distribution of employment growth and its impact on central-city-confined low-skilled workers. The authors examine the determinants of neighborhood job access and intrametropolitan differences in five industry cohorts, classified by average earnings of workers. They further compare change of job access between 1990 and 1996 across intrametropolitan spatial divisions. Empirical evidence in support of the spatial mismatch hypothesis is found only in the central county context: labor-force-weighted low-wage job access in central-city neighborhoods was, on average, lower than in inner-suburban neighborhoods but greater than in outer-suburban neighborhoods.
